The long-range non-additive three-body dispersion interaction coefficients Z(111), Z(112), Z(113), and Z(122) are computed for many atomic combinations using standard expressions. The atoms considered include hydrogen, the rare gases, the alkali atoms (up to Rb), and the alkaline-earth atoms (up to Sr). The term Z(111) arising from three mutual dipole interactions is known as the Axilrod-Teller...

Field Due to an Electric Dipole An electric dipole consists of two particles with charges of equal magnitude q but opposite sign, separated by a small distance d. Their electric dipole moment has magnitude qd and points from the negative charge to the positive charge. The magnitude of the electric field set up by the dipole at a distant point on the dipole axis (which runs through both charges) is

Whereas the basic features of stimulated emission are easily seen to hold true for ensembles of dipoles, the same is not always true for a single dipole system. For example, symmetry requires that well localized, bound dipoles emit a dipole field which is isotropic in the plane defined by the dipole vector. Indeed, for this case, nothing in the interaction between the dipole and the field conta...

EEG source localization of epileptic brain activity is of diagnostic importance in the presurgical evaluation in patients with refractory epilepsy. Localization of the epileptogenic foci by visual inspection of the scalp EEG only is a qualitative and subjective procedure and may be difficult. Techniques such as dipole modelling allow to analyse the characteristics of the generators of the elect...

We study the dipole formation at the surface formed by -CH(3) and -CF(3) terminated short-chain alkylthiolate monolayers on Au(111). In particular, we monitor the change in work function upon chemisorption using density functional theory calculations. We separate the surface dipole into two contributions, resulting from the gold-adsorbate interaction and the intrinsic dipole of the adsorbate la...
